Butler Manufacturing Com
pany/Jamesway Division has
introduced a new line of manure
handling and storage equipment.
The Liqui-Stor tank, the heart of
the System and available in
capacities of up to 1.3 million
gallons, is backed by Butler’s 50
years of bolted tank construction
and installation experience. Butler
has installed over 10,000 bolted
tanks in the last 25 years
throughout the world for various
purposes.
The Liqui-Stor tank panels are
finished with the exclusive EFP
(Electro-Fused Polymer) coating
which protects the metal from the
voids, pin holes and thin edges
inherent in a liquid-type or glass
lined finish.
The Butler Liqui-Stor tank offers
many advantages over daily
manure hauling, such as
elimination of daily hauling,
reduction of labor needed to handle
manure, manure can be hauled at
owner’s convenience, more
nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus
and Potassium and other
specialized near infrared spectro
computer.
The analysis is supplied in the
form of a complete computer
printout that lists the chemical and
nutritional content of feeds in
cluding fat, protein, car
bohydrates, energy values and
minerals. This information helps
determine what supplements may
be required for maximum profit

are faster and more accurate than

piston pumps or shredder pumps
engineered by Nesseth, or the

Transfer System.
To agitate and empty the tank, a
powerful 6,000 gallon-per-minute
